The Roost
The Perch
The Perch is the first and one of the most important forums in the Roost. I will admit that I did not know what it was called until one day when Kyrie mentioned it and I asked, “What’s the Perch?” Needless to say, after being forced to do all of Kadina’s quidditch laundry, I remembered the forum and felt it prudent that everyone knew of its specialness.

Ravenclaw Blog
First used in August 2008, the Ravenclaw Blog is the easy solution to inform all students of going-ons in Ravenclaw. As composing an HOL message for every single Ravenclaw student would be much too tedious and time-consuming, Prof. Mark Mandrake created the lovely forum for us. [MORE]
Ravenclaw Orientation
Within the Orientation forums an eaglet can learn the basics of navigating HOL's main site as well as the Roost. [MORE]
Adopt-An-Eaglet
Adopt-an-Eaglet is for all those newbies wandering lost around the Roost! If you sign up for the Adopt-an-Eaglet program, then hopefully an older eagle will come along and take you under their wing. [MORE]
Common Room
The Common Room was purely created as a place where eagles to come and ‘roost’. It is a place of relaxation and discussions. It is a place where students can cluck around and stick their beaks in other people’s conversations. [MORE]
Class Discussion
Class Discussion is a nifty little sub forum that is based around the idea of homework help. [MORE]
Birthdays
The current Birthday sub-forum grew up out of less official threads in the Common Room, where well-wishers could congratulate their friends on another year survi—er, achieved. [MORE]
Noticeboard
Just like the Perch is for Ravenclaw announcements, the noticeboard is for personal announcements. [MORE]
Ravenclaw Activities
So besides earning lots of points, botting until our fingers fall off, and fangirling over all sorts of things, you would think Ravenclaws can stay occupied. Well, some of you might be shocked to find that we have a short attention span. So what else would we need? Ravenclaw Activities, of course! [MORE]
On the Branches
Nests
Sorted by first names, Ravenclaw students are broken into four groups and placed in nests where they can play games, discuss homework, ask questions and make friends. The four nests are Terra (A-D,) Aer (E-K,) Ignis (L-R,) and Aqua (S-Z). [MORE]
Flocks
Book Nook
The Book Nook is the reincarnation of Ravenclaw's Book Club. The Nook opened in September 2008 in the Flocks sub-forum after the Club went dormant. As our dear Head of House, Professor Rhiannon Llewellyn, educated us, a “nook” is a “secluded or sheltered place” and “a small, often recessed section of a larger room.” That larger room is the Roost as a whole. Unlike the restrictive-sounding name of the Book Club, the new name welcomes all eagles with an interest in reading. That's all of us isn't it? [MORE]
Debate Club
OBJECTION!! What can we say? We’re eagles and we are definitely opinionated (Not to mention always right!). So, of course we are going to have a debate section in our wonderful Common Room! [MORE]
Aviary
Awards
Here at the Roost, we pride ourselves at striving for our best in all we do, whether this is working hard in HOL classes, posting actively in the Roost, or botting 1000 points a day. Therefore, some very smart eagle decided to reward other eagles who have shown themselves to be outstanding, and this was how the Ravenclaw Awards were created! [MORE]
Fun and Games
Fun and Games is a pretty straightforward name. It is a place where you can have some fun after a hard day of class work or after your homework lessons. It has been on the Roost since its inception and the best part is that everyone can play in it, from Ravenclaws to all other houses and even Squibs. [MORE]
RPG
The Role Playing forum of the Roost has undergone something of a renaissance, and the activity there has been constant and increasing since the start of the new HOL year when an impressive number of new first year enthusiasts, and roleplayers from other HOL Houses, joined the small but loyal core of Roost RPers and added a host of new characters to the ongoing storylines that are developing there. [MORE]
Below the Branches
So you’re not a Ravenclaw; I know how sad that makes you. It must be very difficult for you to deal with. But if you just can’t get enough of us, which I know you all can’t, then you can join the rest of us Ravenclaws in the Below the Branches Section! [MORE]
Ickle Eagles Ask the Experts
Every year, the admins go through the same approval process in the Roost Common Room. When a student registers correctly, she’s approved; fail to follow instructions, and the registration gets thrown into the evil claws of the frumious bandersnatch. Yet in 2000-early, a few oddly registered characters began to appear in various parts of the Roost.
Within weeks, the Roost was invaded by the likes of Cho Chang, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Neville Longbottom, Sibyll P. Trelawney, and Tess Tosterone, among others. A forum area was even created solely for the purpose of housing these super-secret “experts,” which became known as Ickle Eagles Ask the Experts. [MORE]
